Can anyone identify this 4 Post lift?

[Krmnnghia]

Looking at 4 post lifts and found one on FB Marketplace. Couple Questions.

1. Anyone know what make and model this might be? Rotary?

2. I know little about lifts, but shouldn't have any issues tearing it down and reassembling. What can I check onsite to ensure its a good purchase?

3. Anything else I should be concerned about?

Thanks!

Talking with the person selling, they say it is Blue and I can make out the Rotary symbol on the pump. I'm almost positive it is a SM123-10. Thoughts?

I have an SM122 in the shop. I hate that lift.
The locks require a lot of air pressure unlock and still do not do it reliably.
The rolling jacks gave up long ago. Failed by going up by themselves. Glad there was no car on the lift. Terrible safety locks on those jacks anyway.

It's not a hard lift to disassemble. I moved ours from one end of the shop to the other.

I am just glad the lift was given to me and I didn't have to pay for it.

As far as testing, get a car on it and run it up and down, checking all. Of the locks. Look for cracks or damage at the locks and for any fraying or damage to chains or cables. Check for leaks on the hydraulics.

I think pretty basic stuff that if you are mechanically inclined enough to justify owning and installing a lift, you should be fine

Oh Man that is not a glowing review. So the safety locks are air powered? Any bypass for that? I would hate to lose air with a vehicle in the air and not be able to get it down. I have an 80 gallon tank...I would think that would be fine. I assume its standard 220v?

Thanks. Didn't know if there was like 1 or 2 things that were major Gotchas. Like if the cables are getting bad, there is $1000.

Well It was quite a Saturday for me. 2.5hrs to get to the lift and about 2 hours to dismantle and load, then 3.5 hours to get back in the rain and snow. The seller and a couple of his workers handled all the dismantling and loading. Sure helps when you have a 20 ton crane. The lift had a few bumps and bruises but the air jacks and the lift were full functional and for $1500, I am pretty happy with the purchase. This is going to require some serious power washing and scraping to get a few years worth of grime off of it before I can sand and paint it.

Any advice on a good degreaser to use and more importantly, should I avoid getting certain chemicals near the Sheaves?

That's a real lift...no back yard Chinese ****.

I don't ever want to worry about being under 6000lb's of instant death. Let's just hope I don't have to buy too many parts. The cable kits alone are almost what I paid for everything. LOL

Finally found the time to install the lift. That was fun. LOL

Have to get a few new nuts and things for the ends of the cables and some ATF before I get it in the air. I am still unsure about bolting it down. Some say no need to worry about it but damn for as heavy as this thing is it seems sketchy not too.
